Stanford was a powerhouse in 2012 with wins over USC, Arizona, Oregon and Wisconsin (Rose Bowl). Along with starting quarterback Kevin Hogan, the Cardinal return four of five on the offensive line including three all-Pac-12
players. On defense things look even better as Stanford has nearly everyone back including the bulk of the D-line. 6-foot-6, 261 pound linebacker Trent Murphy had 10 sacks a year ago.
